Talk about a month of extremes here locally, on 10/3 we had a high of 90, fast forward to 10/16 we recorded a low of 25. Nice 65 degree spread. These transition months are always fascinating to me.

Not complaining what so ever, but man my forecast for the next 7-9 days looks zzz. Upper 50’s and tons of sunshine in the forecast.

Dropped to 26 this morning. First hard freeze in the books. It was a very chilly morning.

I spoke to soon. We indeed did have a freeze this morning, temps had warmed to 34 an hour before sunrise, and then dropped to 31 right before. Nice frost here as well.

Narrowly avoided a freeze, 33 degrees this morning. Could see your breathe out there this morning.

Temps are really crashing under these clear skies, already down to 45.

I’m ready for cooler weather, but the first snowflakes might be a little early lol. Although, I do remember sometime in the 3rd week of October 2013 we had flakes flying in the air. Really looking back 2013 was just an incredible weather year. So many extreme events.

Really hoping this blast of fall air can accelerate the fall foliage around here, everything is still pretty green. NAM had tried to illustrate the possibility of our first snowflakes tomorrow. Lol. Either way frost warning tonight, we are getting closer folks.

I remember charley very well in 2004, my grandparents have a house in Pine Island, that storm was a beast. Curiosity kills the cat, I wonder what Michael would have done with another 3-4 hours over water.

Pictures and footage coming from Mexico Beach, lots of destruction, and extreme storm surge as well, almost to the roofs of most homes.

From the local news last night. This was a cell that blew up near Fisher, about 18 miles NW of Champaign. No damage reported.

88 here. The record of 93 set back in 2007 will obviously be safe. After Wednesday I’m hoping to be done with the heat for the rest of the year. I have 30s in my forecast

Storms finally blew through the area, dropping much needed rain, and temps respectively. Before the storms we peaked at 88. It was hot.

Nice! Thanks Hoosier

Even in October Champaign getting 89’d, ‘‘ ‘tis has been the theme of 2018. But similar to cyclone, our record was going to be safe anyway, 93 from 1954. That Atlanta October stat just blew my mind. That is really bizarre. Wonder what stops then from hitting 90 in October so much?
